^I don't think it would be illegal if it's proves the Company behind it (which is owned my PRC IIRC) is using the Data collected for Spying.

Kinda like some other companies from there that's not allow to have Gov't contracts (Drones, Software, etc)

Irrelevant. The way the law's currently crafted it oversteps the boundaries of state rights and likely infringes on first amendment rights. The government's ability to dictate government contracts has nothing to do with this. As people use TikTok to express themselves, the issue of the government banning it is the argument that they are essentially controlling how people are able to express themselves.

The most likely end result of this law is Montanans having to pay more in taxes to foot the multi-million dollar lawsuit after the state fails to defend itself from lawsuits on its legality.

It isn't a cop-out, it is simply that someone is going to challenge it and it is going to be ruled unconstitutional. I am not going to complain about a law that obviously has no chance of sticking around long enough to matter.

The poll question is: "Think it's a Good Idea? (Poll Question)" The third option is answering an entirely different question "Do you think the law will last (yes/no)". It's a cop-out in that it allows you sidestep around the original question. It also highlights pionear's habit of constructing poor poll choices (something that he is by no means alone in being guilty of).
